Kill Tony #214 — Russell Peters, Erik Griffin, Dom Irrera

Set: Rashid told a story about contracting chlamydia in college and initially blaming Hot Cheetos, then confiding in his large friend Andre who had the same problem.

Interview: Tony and the panel questioned Rashid about when he got chlamydia (three years ago while playing football in Minnesota), how he makes money (film and comedy with a $75 investment from an investor he met through a Tinder match at a pool party), and details about his feature film.

Set: Mystery Dan performed a dark character sketch about getting revenge on Star Wars fans for mocking people with lisps by assaulting them in a bar, cutting off body parts with scissors.

Interview: The panel questioned Mystery Dan extensively about his sexuality (he is gay), his sexual preferences (he's a top), his recent sexual encounter (six weeks ago outside a subway station), and his comedy routine styles which he claims are mostly sketch-based characters.

Set: Sal performed a weak set with a forced Orthodox Jewish character, making stereotypical jokes about being cheap, having a goofy voice, and living in LA, but lacking any real comedic structure or punchlines.

Interview: Tony aggressively shut down Sal's interview after establishing he thought this was just a sign-up sheet for free admission and didn't know he was bombing on a podcast. Sal mentioned working in the cannabis business.

Set: Jessie performed a solid one-minute set about working three jobs despite having no kids, getting out of a toxic five-year relationship with a ska band lead singer, and recently opening for Big Fish.

Interview: Tony and the panel asked Jessie about her move to LA (she's been there four weeks), her birthday (turning 27), her upcoming trip home to Arizona, and her current jobs including remote work as a personal assistant for an e-learning video company.

Set: Regean performed a rambling, poorly-structured set about using the penitentiary system as military recruitment, with disjointed examples and no clear punchlines.

Interview: Tony established that Regean had only been doing stand-up for one week, had written it better on paper, had done five open mics that week, was from Minnesota but living in LA for three years, works in freight sales, and went on a bad first date to The Grove.

Set: Nicole delivered an engaging set about her real life: married name Richie, five kids, husband who became a Southwest flight attendant and gets offers to have his dick sucked (not gay), living in an RV in Oregon, and her favorite porn is girl-on-girl.

Interview: The panel extensively discussed her actual family situation: she has five kids (ages 15, 14, 8, 6, 2), her 15-year-old is caring for the others while she's in LA, she's 30 years old, adopted her two oldest stepchildren, her husband Dusty works as a Southwest flight attendant, they live in an RV near Mount Hood Oregon, and she yells her kids' names to call them home.

Set: Jessica performed a strong set about working at Hooters for five years, dealing with disrespect including an old man's age joke, her plumber father who abandoned the family for a world-traveling nuclear power plant job, and the irony of his success coming from leaving.

Interview: Tony and the panel asked Jessica about her breast augmentation (34B to 34DD, under the muscle through armpit), working at Hooters to save money for the surgery, later bartending for the PGA tour where she slept with a caddy, being currently unemployed since March, and her father's love of Hooters.

Set: Ali delivered a tight 60-second set full of jokes about her new haircut making her less narcissistic but more attractive, being objectified as a mannequin, not knowing art terminology, being slow at work because she's high all the time, and applying for a hotel cleaning job that appeals to her love of unsolved mysteries.

Interview: Tony asked Ali about her life, dating skateboarders, recently matching with a hot guy on Tinder who she skates with, her new shaved hairstyle, and her recent road trip with Tony where she performed at the Ontario Improv (Tony said she killed, she was humble about it).

Interview: Russell Peters was introduced as one of three main panel guests and participated in jokes throughout the episode, including making cracks about Dom's wig from the 'I'm Dying Up Here' show.

Interview: Erik Griffin was one of three main panel guests who sat at the table throughout the episode, participated in roasting bucket pull performers, and promoted the new Showtime series 'I'm Dying Up Here' where he plays a comedian in the 1970s.

Interview: Dom Irrera was one of three main panel guests, participated in roasting performers throughout the episode, and discussed his role in the new Showtime series 'I'm Dying Up Here' where he plays a comedian in the 1970s wearing a thick wig that even inspired jokes about Himalayan nuns' hair.
